A fun read from Philip Durkin's "Borrowed Words: A History of Loanwords in English" - an extract from a 1403 letter written in a mix of English and Anglo-French. Franglais has a LONG history indeed. Somehow I don't think extracting the ALT text from the image will be much help here 🤣 #AmReading#Linguistics#History#NonFiction#ebooks@bookstodon
